Nothing like the pressure of last minute to be productive!
I think something is wrong with me then. When I start something early it normally ends up with me losing momentum part way through, stopping for ages, then having to work like mad at the end anyway. That or I end up changing project idea and having to start again. Both of these ended up happening with my dissertation.
Like even when I start stuff at the right time it goes to shit. Somehow when I do stuff last minute it mostly turns out fine.
Procrastination is good, it takes you were you naturally want to be and what you intuitively think is right. Starting early and forcing yourself through things you don’t care about is not productive.
All things in moderation, including
moderationprocrastination.
Do not forget about the part where it constantly lingers overhead, and despite you thinking about it every moment and making every moment hell until you do it, you don’t do it until that last minute anyway.
I too like to live dangerously.
The stress is what gives me the motivation to do the work. So no.
I’ve often stated that Past-Me is always hassling Present-Me with reminders of things I’m supposed to do. That asshole just loves setting a ton of notifications to fire throughout the day, making me feel bad for being a lazy procrastinator.
